Unloading Bulk Railcars
2” to 3” Unloading Kits
An important adjustment for successful operation of the AEC Bulk Unloading
System is setting the correct material-to-air ratio at the material pickup point in
the railcar.
Get familiar with these material pickup instructions for the various types of
railcars from which your material may be shipped. Each type of car requires a
different unloading technique for successful operation of this part of your system.
The patented probe kit consists of:
• Two (2) aluminum nozzle caps
• One (1) filter
• One (1) adapter assembly with a male quick-change coupler
• Five (5) material pick-up probes
Also included for car unloading is a length of flexible material tubing for ease of
switching from one car compartment to the next.
